I know in Canada the Prime Minister actually has more power over the government than the US President has over the US one
The Prime Minister is usually a member of Parliment in the governing party, Members must vote along party lines in the House of Commons unless the PM decides to allow a free vote
THe Prime mInister apoints the Governor General
The appointed senete hasn't rejected a bill passed by the house of commons in over 50 years
Prime Minister appoints the Supreme Court Justices
I'm not sure about Australia but their Prime Minister probably has almost the same powers since both Canada and Australia have governments based ont eh British Parlimentry system
